SHJDAC

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse view of the rugged Hajar Mountains after takeoff, followed by the industrial landscapes of Gujarat and the intricate river systems of the Indo-Gangetic plain.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Hajar Mountains

Dramatic, jagged rock formations visible shortly after departing Sharjah as you cross into Omani airspace.

🏙️

Ahmedabad Urban Area

The sprawling city layout and the Sabarmati River cutting through the heart of Gujarat's largest metropolis.

🏞️

Narmada River

One of India's major rivers, appearing as a silver ribbon winding through the central plains.

🌾

Bengal Delta

A stunning green tapestry of rice paddies and small villages as the plane descends into Bangladesh.

💧

Hooghly River

Aerial views of the river near Kolkata, marking the transition into the final leg of the journey.

Choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, giving you perfectly lit landscapes on the left without glare. Watch for the dramatic change from the arid Gulf terrain to the lush greenery of West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Arabian Sea

Vast, deep blue ocean views during the mid-flight crossing between the Arabian Peninsula and India.

⚓

Konkan Coastline

The rugged western coastline of India, where the Western Ghats meet the sea, often visible if the route tracks south.

🏜️

Deccan Plateau

The unique, ancient volcanic topography of central India with its distinct flat-topped hills.

🌳

Sundarbans Mangroves

The world's largest mangrove forest, appearing as a dense dark green maze where land meets the Bay of Bengal.

🚤

Padma River Mouth

The massive scale of the river's confluence, visible as the flight approaches Dhaka from the south-west.

Excellent for evening flights as you can witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Keep your camera ready as you approach Dhaka to capture the intricate network of the Sundarbans. Note that heavy monsoon clouds (June-September) often obscure the view of the coastline on this side.
